Trump Tells 'Young People' to Blame Biden if TikTok Gets Banned
www.newsweek.com
Quite the about-face on fmr Pres Trump's part (especially after he seemed to meet with a donor).
But, aside from the usual two-faced aspect of fmr Pres Trump, the reason I posted it as to highlight how the campaigns are looking for the youth vote.
Institutional divestment from Israel is inevitable. #4 | Posted by redlightrobot
Just means more bargains for the rest of us.
Also, "Ohio State University says it legally can't divest from Israel," www.msn.com so good luck with that.
Young people are just so self absorbed these days. Sad state of affairs if you ask me.

Personally, I see the results are a good thing. There are real problems confronting young people, such as housing costs, jobs, inflation, and reproductive rights and they seem to be focused on those.
Shows that most of them aren't easily distracted by the manipulation of foreign governments stirring things up that really don't matter in their life. ("Putin's fingerprints are all over the Hamas attack" thehill.com ).
Of course, Prez elections are really close nowadays, what with Trump winning the Electoral College in 2016 by about the same number of votes (45,000) that Biden won in 2020. www.npr.org . So even a slight shift is enough to change the results. And then the Hamas-Lovers can see what a Trump 2.0 presidency has in store their beloved terrorists. Hint: "Former President Donald Trump declared Tuesday that Israel must finish the problem' in its war against Hamas" www.nbcnews.com
